How Should We Measure the Success of the Atheist Movement?

I need a mental health break, some time away from thinking about anything related to the bigotry and discrimination atheists face in the modern U.S. I've got some other tasks that require my full attention and cannot be postponed any longer. Thus, things may be a bit quiet around here for the next week or so.

The question I'd like to leave you with is this:

How do we measure success with regard to the atheist movement? That is, on what basis should we evaluate our progress or lack thereof when it comes to the goals most of us share?

I suppose another way to ask this question would be to imagine that we are ten years into the future and looking back on our progress. What needs to look different in order to us to consider our efforts a success?
